Opportunities for Future Students
Undergraduate Research Assistants
Undergraduate research assistants are an important element to our research. Students in our lab gain hands-on experience collecting diverse types of data from parents and young child, cleaning physiological data (such as heart rate), coding observations of parent-child interactions, entering data, and preparing data files that will be analyzed to answer research questions. The research experience and skills gained from working in the Early Experiences Lab are applicable to many different career paths. Previous research assistants from our lab have gone on to graduate programs in education, social work, school counseling, developmental psychology, and Industrial/Organizational psychology.
The requirements for research assistants in the lab are:
- 3.25 GPA
- 8-10 hours of per week of lab work (depending on assigned projects)
- A two-semester commitment (one of those semesters can include the summer)
- Be interested in developmental psychology or a related area
- Be self-motivated and dependable
Graduate Students
I will be accepting graduate student applications for the 2024-2025 cycle (i.e., to begin the fall of 2025). Students interested in applying are encouraged to contact me to learn more about training opportunities for future graduate students.
